Ok, I admit it…I’m an addict!

Posted on March 19, 2008 and filed under Parenting and Other Misnomers..., Articles

Jeff and I are trying to make another baby. So far, no hits, so I figure I can use a cleaning. I decide to do this saltwater detox thing. I really won’t go into details because it’s gross, but it’s working so that’s nice. I started it on Monday. It was really great. I had all this energy. I had so much so, that I figured, “What the heck. I’ll give up coffee today.”

Big mistake. Biiiig mistake. I had this headache that wouldn’t go away and then this nagging attitude problem that was not making my home life very pleasant. I think Jeff was thinking I was pregnant. It was that bad.

Then I decided to have a little cup of coffee on Tuesday morning, (after Jeff was at work and wishing his days were longer, I’m sure.) What a difference. The sun came out, really, it did, and I felt, just, really, really good.

Why am I telling you this, you may be asking yourself, (if you are still reading this.) I’m not sure. Maybe it’s like my first step in admitting I have a problem. I mean, really, maybe I have a problem. If all the coffee in the world was destroyed today, I would have to go through withdrawals like a smoker or a heroin addict. Maybe it wouldn’t be that violent, but I bet either Jeff or myself would be worse for the wear by the time it was over.

I do have to say, though, that the detox is awesome. I had so much energy as I was doing my “Four Fast Miles,” dvd, that when it was over I was thinking, “That’s it, Leslie? That’s all you got? Come on!” I’m tough like that.
